In the games
In the games, Galactic Grunts generally act as footsoldiers and guards for Team Galactic. Like all villain team Grunts, they are not individually named. Unlike other team grunts however, such as Rocket grunts, Aqua grunts and Magma grunts, Team Galactic grunts don't seem to get what are the global objectives of the team and often speak nonsense about them, which makes them look silly as to why they joined the team in the first place. Sometimes, certain Galactic grunts drop keys to their warehouses and HQs when they are defeated and/or they run away.
They generally use a combination of Glameow, Stunky, Croagunk, Zubat, Houndour, Murkrow, and the Wurmple line.
